The fisherman druid is in another world

Chapter 818

It is said that a skilled warrior does not achieve great feats.

Although Black Robb did not know this proverb, he did know that the idea of ​​taking shortcuts and relying on luck to win was unacceptable.

Especially for a lone wolf like him, who might not be the last one standing even after winning 99 games, but could be utterly ruined by just one loss, he would rather play it safe than take any risks.

Just like this battle to conquer the Abyss.

With thorough preparations, creating opportunities, deploying a large force, and going all out.

I don't seek extraordinary talent, I only seek overwhelming power.

They knew perfectly well that the enemy's upgraded demons had a time limit, and that as long as they retreated for a while, these demons would perish on their own.

However, he still chose to confront them head-on, aiming to maintain the advantage of the surprise attack as much as possible and not give the opponent time to regroup or make preparations.

Holy Spirit Warriors versus Ascended Demon Bodies: Battle formations plus roaming assassins. Despite having only four or five more enemies, they achieved a significant advantage. The Great Demons were in dire straits, unable to spare any attention or escape, and could only struggle to cope.

Black Robo, of course, wouldn't just stand by and watch, waiting for the high-level battle to determine the winner.

This is a war of annihilation, so it must look like a war of annihilation.

The non-Daoist military formation has given rise to a legion of Holy Spirit warriors, half of whom have begun to use the legion's heavy weapons to attack the ground of God's Kingdom.

These corps will not easily land and engage in melee combat with the enemy's ground forces. Instead, they will make full use of their air superiority to attack from above. Whether it is carpet bombing or burrowing attacks, they can do it fiercely. Black Rob has prepared a massive amount of ammunition for this battle.

Moreover, the engineering corps has already torn open the dimensional rift into a stable doorway, and with logistics in place, more military equipment and supplies are already lining up to enter, so there's no need to be stingy.

Then, countless arcs of electricity, condensing into balls of lightning, fell like ripe fruit, forming enormous clusters of plasma fireworks on the ground.

Furthermore, with the further development of heavy machinery and the refinement of the process, the efficiency of the lightning ball's fall is rapidly increasing, soon forming a sea of ​​plasma on the ground.

In this ocean, there are naturally many spectacular bursts of lightning and fire, which are the effects of a ground-penetrating strike, a rebound after the energy violently surges downwards.

The puppet army's actions caused great trouble for the Abyss Lord's ground forces.

Abyssal behemoths, heavily armored legions, and mixed knightly orders—they were like moving mountains, like advancing fortresses, or capable of unleashing waves of death. But now, they could only be blasted apart by lightning orbs, scorched by lightning and fire, and submerged in a sea of ​​plasma, reduced to utter ashes.

The Lord of the Abyss could indeed grant them divine powers, allowing them to fly, but doing so would only cost the Lord of the Abyss a massive amount of divine power and would be completely ineffective.

Let alone the fact that they are all heavy units that are not suitable for flying, even for flying units, taking off from the ground to attack a large number of well-prepared enemies is much more difficult than attacking enemies from the bottom of a mountain to the top of a steep slope.

Moreover, the puppet army's choice of the power of lightning is quite meaningful.

Firstly, Thunder possesses the dual characteristics of creation and destruction, but it currently leans towards the latter, and is moving closer to the purifying quality.

This means that it can resist the distortion of the divine domain's laws to a considerable extent, and the resistance continues to increase as the total amount of lightning power in the area increases.

Secondly, the continuous output of lightning, accompanied by a powerful magnetic field effect, creates a super thunderstorm weather state in the entire area. In such an environment, the lightning ball will not just explode upon hitting the ground.

A lightning ball can explode at any height, and it can also display its power in other ways, such as forked lightning or a lightning net.

Third, lightning can suppress evil forces. Even divine-level techniques will be greatly weakened or even rendered unusable.

Therefore, unless it is contained early on or the source of the lightning is directly attacked, going head-to-head with it is simply suicide.

The upgraded Great Demon could indeed charge forward under such thunder, but not only were all the Great Demons already engaged in a fierce battle, but even if there were still reserves, Black Robo's side had no shortage of Holy Spirit warriors to fight against them.

In short, once Black Robb's army was deployed, this passive situation was almost inevitable.

What's most frightening is that the army of the Lord of the Abyss is inescapable, impossible to escape, and impossible to hide from.

The puppet army has turned the thunder into a celestial flood, submerging, impacting, drilling downwards, seeping in, exploding, and repeatedly plowing...

In less than a minute, a lava lake covering several square kilometers formed on the surface of the abyss, and it is still expanding rapidly. In many places, internal vortexes have also formed. It is clear that there is indeed an underground palace system beneath the surface.

In fact, Black Rob had already seen through some of the tricks underground when he first entered this abyss, otherwise he wouldn't have taken such measures.

After all, no matter how well prepared one is, an ineffective attack is still a risk. The Lord of the Abyss must still have trump cards up his sleeve, while his reserves are only about a third of what they used. Naturally, he has to consider that the other side is using depth to exchange for him using all his methods and to wear down his offensive.

As the saying goes, "even a spent arrow cannot pierce silk," historical examples of successful counterattacks from dire straits generally involved waiting until the enemy's offensive momentum had been exhausted before launching a powerful counterattack and achieving a decisive victory. This "decisive victory" is crucial. If one cannot strike with full force, then it comes down to who can best play the "desperate army will surely win" card.

With these considerations in mind, Black Robb naturally held onto a few cards without playing them, waiting for his opponent to make a move.

After all, he is in the advantageous position now.

So what are the thoughts of the Lord of the Abyss?

Whatever their motives, calling for reinforcements is the best thing to do as soon as possible.

This guy has some pretty unconventional methods; he can even use the chaotic staircase as reinforcements.

Of course, such reinforcements have many limitations and huge side effects.

Given the current perilous situation, we can't worry about that now.

Thus, somewhere in the outer plane, the Night Gods Battle Group, having received orders, suddenly launched a massive and fierce attack on the Chaotic Ladder faction.

The Chaotic Staircase has deployed elite forces here.

Furthermore, the two sides have been locked in a long-term battle and know each other inside and out, and the Chaotic Ladder has clearly gained the upper hand in the past year.

As a result, the Chaotic Staircase team unleashed their full firepower, utterly defeating their opponents and forcing them to flee in panic.

Given the chaotic staircase's style, they naturally wouldn't give up this opportunity to pursue the fleeing enemy. They roared and chased relentlessly, and so they really did chase them head to tail, rushing into the enemy's camp!
At first, the commander of the chaotic staircase suspected that it was a trap to get him.

But new victories were being won repeatedly at the front, and the entire camp was quickly captured. The commander, no longer having any doubts, immediately went to personally oversee the operation, like a wolf in sheep's clothing…

The history of the feud between the two sides is long and complicated.

The top members of the Chaotic Ladder include several fallen gods.

The kingdom of the fallen gods is in the outer plane.

This battlefield in the outer plane is the outer pass of the area where the Fallen God's Kingdom is located.

The Night God has long fought against the minions of the Fallen God here.

Of course, he didn't reveal his true identity. Instead, he impersonated a remnant of the Dark Hell.

Among them was indeed one of the seven great dukes of the former Dark Hell.

The reason the Night Gods did this is because after the Elf King betrayed the God of Nature, although he focused his energy on the new timeline, this timeline was controlled by the Fallen God and his minions.

This includes alchemists who do everything in their power to control supernatural resources. Given this context, it would be virtually impossible to scale up operations without being detected.

Extraordinary resources can be obtained from the underground tribes, but a project as massive as establishing the Abyss Domain is difficult to escape the detection of the gods.

Moreover, to command the underground tribes for one's own use, an initial investment is required: time, energy, technology, and substantial wealth. None of these can be done without them.

Even if the underground tribes prosper, they cannot directly plunder and conquer; that would not last. The Night God Society's needs are astronomical.

In addition, wealth is needed to plant spies in various alchemy factions and to turn traitors within alchemy factions with a Fallen God background.

So they started developing the logistics industry, both on and underground.

But that's still not enough; we need to find a way to attract the attention of the fallen gods.

Thus arose the remnants of the dark hell, the die-hard elements, who sought to bring misfortune upon the fallen gods.

Although the fallen gods are exhausted and wounded, and none of them can even maintain their status and dignity as true gods, they can still defeat the Grand Duke of Hell if they unite.

However, on the one hand, the fallen gods often fall into a deep sleep or go mad, and cannot maintain a rational state for a long time or continuously.

On the other hand, as a negative collective that has been discarded, it is inherently eccentric and irrational, making cooperation virtually impossible.

Moreover, since the Elf King has betrayed the Lord of Terror, the Fallen Gods are naturally aware of his existence.

They all knew that the most powerful being in the Dark Hell was actually the enigmatic King of Fear. Out of fear of the King of Fear, they were unwilling to invest too much in eradicating the remaining forces of the Dark Hell, lest the King of Fear exploit any loopholes and threaten them.

And so, the Grand Duke of Hell became the open target, and the two sides fought back and forth for many years.

Later, under the encouragement of authority, the fallen gods joined forces to form the Chaotic Staircase, and those who opposed the Grand Duke of Hell became the people of the Chaotic Staircase.

After that, the Grand Duke of Hell gradually became passive and was beaten several times. Especially in the past year, if the people on and off the Chaotic Ladder had not been unwilling to fight him to the death, the evil would probably have wiped him out.

Therefore, the commander of the Chaotic Staircase was quite puzzled by the Grand Duke of Hell's risky invasion today.

Once we actually clashed, and found that our opponent was indeed just being a complete jerk, then we wouldn't hold back!
I was worried about the decline in performance this year. If we win this battle, we will have both substance and face, and we can give our superiors a good explanation.

Once the commander of the Chaotic Ladder confirmed that he had captured the enemy's painstakingly built camp and obtained a considerable amount of spoils, he naturally did not mind making the final push to completely annihilate the enemy hiding in the underground fortress and take the most valuable batch of goods they were carrying.

As a result, this act of marching into the underground palace led them directly into a trap, causing them to be unknowingly drawn into the abyss.

Of course, they won't be facing off against Black Rob's puppet army anytime soon.

The Lord of the Abyss was anxious, but he knew that the more anxious he was, the more he should not be. He would not go too far in luring the enemy, lest he leave too many traces and expose his sinister intentions.

Now that the road has been paved and the necessary guidance has been completed, the next step is for the Chaotic Staircase and the Puppet Legion to rely on their respective initiative to naturally meet on a narrow path.

Compared to diverting chaos into a trap and summoning other reinforcements, the effect was so poor that it chilled His heart.

The two most important talent pools of the Ibelin Shamanic Society are now unreachable.

This made Him realize that the place had probably also been attacked and immediately sealed off by special means. Not to mention making contact, it was questionable whether even a few could escape.

They did manage to make contact with the Night Gods team heading to the Dimensional God Kingdom.

After all, those people were His carefully trained direct servants, who shared His heart and desires. This made their telepathic communication very low-cost yet highly effective (somewhat like Black Robb and the trumpet he controlled), making it almost impossible for them to lose contact.

However, the team has now ventured deep into the core area of ​​the Dimensional God Kingdom (the Inner World), but the relay (underwater matrix) has malfunctioned and they are unable to make contact.

This means that even if the team were to end the current battle at any cost and rush back, they would first have to reach the shamanic stronghold in the sea of ​​Earthsea to use the extraordinary equipment there as a transit point to return to the Abyss Realm.

In response, the Lord of the Abyss could only grant the other party a high degree of autonomy, allowing them to return if they felt it was appropriate, and to activate the backup plan if necessary.

As for the Lord of the Abyss himself, after summoning reinforcements, He naturally realized that His opponent was well-prepared, and thus He also had the idea of ​​implementing a backup plan.

In the sky, the most important high-level battle quickly came to an end as Black Robo once again deployed four more Holy Spirit generals.

Apart from a few major demons who were assassinated, most of them chose to self-destruct at the last moment.

This will indeed have a certain impact on the Holy Spirit Warriors and even the soul-simulating puppets of various legions.

For example, one of the Holy Spirit Warriors was a bit unlucky. When the Great Demon self-destructed, it was stuck close to the Demon, and not only was it riddled with holes and deformed, but all of the Legion's Soul-Puppet Army were also injured.

Even with the entire army of three thousand men sharing the damage, they still suffered considerable losses.

Physical injuries can be healed quickly with healing spells, but damage to the mind cannot be cured in a short time.

In summary, although the high-end battle was a great victory and none of the Holy Spirit generals perished, eleven legions still fell to more than 40% of their peak condition and were ultimately ordered by Black Robo to withdraw from the battlefield and retreat to the forward base for rest.

Now, with the arrival of more heavy super-powerful equipment, the puppet army's combat power has not decreased but increased.

Each corps entered their own temporary warships.

This heavy, fortress-style, square-headed armored ship can effectively protect the Soul Puppet.

The main purpose is to provide them with material protection.

In this way, Black Robb's Twilight Power, and even the Primal Light Power, can focus on protecting energy and laws, while leaving the kinetic damage reduction, which is mainly protected against by mass weapons, to the puppets themselves.

After all, an even more brutal meat grinder is about to begin.

Although the puppets are all fearless, Black Robo won't leave his powerful equipment unused and insist on using old-fashioned tactics to fight the enemy in melee, street battles, and bayonet charges.

He's not the kind of idiot who runs out of money for making movies or sacrifices plausibility to highlight personal heroism.

The high-end warfare in the transcendent realm, or rather, high-magic warfare, is similar in many ways to the concepts of high-tech warfare (modern warfare on Earth). The main role of low- to mid-level individual soldiers is to locate the enemy and provide artillery guidance, unless they are fighting desperately in light infantry form.

So the question is, who will play the role of artillery fire?
Naturally, these are either fierce generals of the Holy Spirit, or extraordinary military formations composed of Daoist warrior groups.

Armored ships are essentially adding a professional outer shell to an extraordinary military formation.

If not for various inconveniences, these armored ships would have been in place by the time the legion first entered the Abyss. It's not too late now; with the armored ships, the puppet legion's high-level combat forces can now engage in battle.

Hundreds of Soul-Possessed Puppets of the highest rank or above formed ten squads and launched a new round of operations.

Each corps remained in the air in a fleet formation, showing no intention of landing to fight.

Light infantry has its primary mission, and so do the various corps that act as heavy artillery support. Simply put, it's about providing fire support.

Black Robb never expected that these ordinary soldiers, whose individual rank was only elite, could secure victory through a human wave tactic regardless of cost.

If that were to happen, it would make him look incredibly incompetent. All that preparation, and he's just going to risk his life at the last minute?
